Lagos Assembly crisis: Tinubu’s silence deafening — Atiku
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu for his silence on the crisis currently rocking the Lagos State House of Assembly.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe, on Thursday, Atiku described Tinubu’s silence as a tacit endorsement of anti-democratic tactics aimed at subverting the will of lawmakers.
He also condemned what he called “backdoor tactics” being used to reverse the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, despite his impeachment by a majority of Assembly members.
Earlier in the day, Obasa stormed the Lagos Assembly complex, insisting that he remains the Speaker.
“Despite his undisputed influence over Lagos politics, President Bola Tinubu has remained conspicuously silent on the matter. His refusal to address the crisis suggests a tacit endorsement of the anti-democratic manoeuvres aimed at imposing his preferred candidate against the overwhelming will of Assembly members,” Atiku said in the statement.
“This silence is deafening and deeply concerning,” he added.
Atiku further accused the president of turning Lagos politics into a battleground between “the noble values of Omoluabi—rooted in integrity, fairness, and public service—and the crass, strong-arm tactics of Area Boy politics, where power is retained through coercion rather than consensus.”
